Still Adjusting...

So...I just have to say that I think France is now officially the slowest country in the WORLD! We went in to get our Internet sorted out. We had to go in three different times because they kept telling us different things that we needed. Then they told us it would be a week before anyone could come to install the stuff, so I thought that we would have the Internet next Wednesday. Sadly I was wrong. Apparently it takes another 10 days before we can even use the internet, so I have to wait until October 28. Then on top of that it will be another 10 days after that before we can use the phone and TV, so sometime in the second week of November I think everything will start working.

I am not quite sure what the reasoning is behind all of this, but it seems to be the norm around these parts. I have a week and a half of vacation from October 25 to November 5, (I know I haven't even started teaching yet!) so I guess by the time I get back from my travels I will have a ton of pictures to put up for everyone to see. It will give everyone something to look forward to!

The landlady came yesterday, about 2 hours late, and she managed to fix the hotplate so At least not we can boil water. She also worked in my room for almost an hour, but it doesn't look like she even did anything! She is suppose to come back with someone else to work on the wall again tonight at 8 pm, so we should probably expect her at about 10 pm!

Anyway I am still observing my classes. Tomorrow is my last day of observation then I can finally start teaching. I am really excited. I have so much I want to do with them.

Well I going to venture back out into the beautiful fall day here in Belfort, France. The weather has been great. I don't think we have had any rain in almost a week! I better not get used to that!
